Needlework picture done in an Asian style, perhaps Japanese. It is divided into two pieces; each piece is the same scene. The first oval is a woman looking out of her window. The second oval is of her house and the nature around it. The third oval is the woman standing outside in the vegetation. Around each oval are images of vegetation. It is worked in polychrome and gold threads on a silk satin ground.
